In the present five-piece optical lens system, the lens elements can be made of plastic or glass. If the lens elements are made of plastic, the cost will be effectively reduced. If the lens elements are made of glass, there is more freedom in distributing the refractive power of the five-piece optical lens system. Plastic lens elements can have aspheric surfaces, which allow more design parameter freedom (than spherical surfaces), so as to reduce the aberration and the number of the lens elements, as well as the total track length of the five-piece optical lens system.

In the present five-piece optical lens system, if the object-side or the image-side surface of the lens elements with refractive power is convex and the location of the convex surface is not defined, the object-side or the image-side surface of the lens elements near the optical axis is convex. If the object-side or the image-side surface of the lens elements is concave and the location of the concave surface is not defined, the object-side or the image-side surface of the lens elements near the optical axis is concave.

The five-piece optical lens system of the present invention can be used in focusing optical systems and can obtain better image quality. The five-piece optical lens system of the present invention can also be used in electronic imaging systems, such as, 3D image capturing, digital camera, mobile device, digital flat panel or vehicle camera.
